Travel / My first day trip in Krakow [9]

Hi all
Today is my first day in Krakow. My new work place is in Al. Jana Pawla II. Can any one tell me the bus number or which bus to take to get there? I live in Grodzka near city centre. Please tell me the street name and any land marks of the place where i get the bus.

And...as i mentioned i live in Grodzka. Where would be the nearest superstore and what is it called? Basically i have to get milk, bread, cereals etc.....

Please help....i'm starving and bored sitting in the apartment.

Hi Polanglik

Thank you for the quick response

i managed to find out the big shopping centre. Actually there was a mini shop just nearby where i stay and got a map from a tourist info: centre.

I do have a polish phrase book gifted by my previous work mates from London. I wish i meet someone here to show me around.

Profession wise i am an IT Functional consultant working for Philip Morris. I think i would be here for long. Thanks again

Life / Opening a savings accounts in a Polish bank [27]

I would advice not to start an account with Bank Pekao. You would hardly find any one who speaks English there or over the phone.

Intermit banking facility is limited.

I filled all the forms in the branch in last week of April and the documents haven’t arrived yet. When i asked, the answer was 'I dont know...how to find it'

I still have not clue whether they have managed to open an account for me or not!

I heard MBank(Millinium) is good.

I've started an account with Citibank. They have given me an account in PLN and one in GBP. They don’t charge for most transactions (including international) via online.
